proj_terminals keeps track of what step in the program definition each Terminal is at (Think of it as the
“program pointer” for each Terminal.
proj_data stores the data collected from each Terminal. By indexing on Terminal ID (MAC address) and a
SQL auto-inc field, we can insure that “Quantity B” is for “Item A”, even with many Terminals running
simultaneously. And, so you can tell which prompt a piece of data is associated with, each record also
includes the “program pointer”.
Use a tool like phpMyAdmin (widely available from web hosting providers) to view the tables installed.
Notice that proj_data includes fields for username/password/serverID. This should look familiar. By using
these fields, we can retrieve data selectively from Terminals that use matching “key code” settings.
This is exactly how the user interface web page (index.html) works: It prompts you to enter Username,
Password and ServerID data and then only allows you access to data with matching keys in the data table.
On to using the Cloud Server. The Terminal must be set up properly. Once you have set it up to connect
with your access point, all you have to do is set the Connection Host Address URL to point to wherever you
have put cloud.php on your web server.
Terminal Connection Host URL Setting
Follow the menu on your Terminal screen:
SETUP
WIFI CONFIGURATION
CONNECTION HOST CONFIG
The default setting here is the internet address for the Cloud Server that Worth Data provides for testing
your Terminals. You can leave it as is, or if you want to use your own Cloud Server, set it to the URL of
wherever you installed yours.
This can be a URL like “www.mywebsite.com/afolder/cloud.php or it can be an IP address like
http://1 2. 48 .196.34/cloud.php . The exact web address depends on where you installed the Cloud Server.
Don't forget the “cloud.php” at the end of the address (all in lower case).
User Name, Password, Server ID
These are the “key codes” that the Cloud Server uses to match up Terminals with the collected data.
When you want to download the data you have collected, you will use your web browser to go to
www.mywebsite.com/afolder/index.html
You will need to know the values of your “key codes” exactly to enter onto the web page for accessing your
data. If you have left them at the default on the Terminal, and use the Cloud Server on Worth Data's web
site, anyone else, by using these same default values, can retrieve the data you collect. Remember that the
User Name, Password, and Server ID combination is the key to your data.
If you are familiar with basic web site building, you can see that it would be easy to modify the Cloud
Server we provide to suit many custom applications, especially if you manage your data in Excel.
